so after hitting my lowest of 148 (after 3 days of illness mind you, lol) ive been waffling. i keep thinking "close enough". ive been fluctuating 150-151. well this morning i was 152. i know that there isn't much difference between 151 and 152, but i decided that its time to completely recommit. after choosing my final goal as 145 i sort of slacked. im soooo close and i WILL lose these last 7 lbs!!

time to stop being halfway on board and just finish up!! so today, im changing my attitude and deciding to do my *absolute* best and no longer being committed only half heartedly!!

i do! i lost 8 lbs right away, was so excited and since then (about a month) i've been the same and teetering up a few pounds! i need to stop cheating on my plan, i just always sabatoge myself and don't know why! no more! I WILL wear a bikini this summer

... remember how hard ive worked and not just settle. i need to reach the finish line!!

Good for you! I encourage you to look at all the hard work you've done - Two years ago, I lost 80 lbs. I got lazy and didn't maintain - always using one excuse after another not to start again. Today I am starting again after gaining 60 lbs of that weight back.

I think back to all of the hard work, excercise, and effort I put iunto losing that weight and I am upset with myself for not caring enough to keep it off. You can do it! Just 7 more lbs to go!

The good thing is, we're aware and undertaking steps to get rolling again. Good luck to you in those last 7lbs and good luck to myself for the next...7x23, ha.

lolol. yes, i was maintaining for the past few months. i dont know, i guess i just wanted a break but maintenance turned into complacency. im glad i havent gained a bunch and neither have you! lets just get back on track!

Great post, Julia. I need to recommit. I have been stuck in the same place weight-wise for months. While I continue to get healthier (I am working out on a regular basis), I am not losing for a variety of reasons. I am switching up some things in my diet and exercise, but also mentally. I also need to finish what I started.

I screwed up somehow, magically gaining weight without a change in my eating habbits or exercise habbits. I gained about 5 pounds from my starting weight after losing 15. I don't know whats up, but I need to keep losing.

August 14th, I leave for my families vacation to the beach and I NEED to lose weight before then. I desperately want to get out of the suit I'm in and be down to a smaller one if not a bikini.

I was told p90x was really great and I want to start it now, but I have no one to do it with unfortunately. I'm trying to start riding my stationary bike as much as possible and it's not really working. Any ideas?
